About

Yucki

Read full description

Yucki holds the things you're carrying, so your head doesn't have to. Say what's on your mind, or type it if that's easier. If you hand him more than one thing at once, he sorts it out on his own. "Call the vet tomorrow and grab dog food" becomes two separate things, already in the right place, without you doing any of the organizing yourself. Everything you capture goes into one of four places: Today, This Week, This Month, or Maybe Later. That's the whole system. No labels to invent, no folders to maintain, nothing to set up before it's useful. When something's been sitting a while, Yucki notices, gently. Not a red badge telling you you're behind. Not a streak you'll feel bad about breaking. Just an honest little observation, like "this one keeps getting moved, still worth doing?" You decide what happens next. He's just along for the carrying. And when something isn't worth carrying anymore, letting it go is just as easy as anything else. An app about carrying less should be able to put things down too. A few other things worth knowing: Ask him things in plain language, like "push everything off today except the pharmacy," and he'll do it. Look back over your day, week, or month and see what actually got done, and what's still on you, without a single chart or percentage. Nothing you say ever leaves your phone. No account to make, no sign in, no profile to build. Yucki doesn't know who you are, and doesn't need to. Yucki is free to use every day. Yucki Plus removes the daily limits and fully unlocks the assistant and your look-backs, if you ever want more room. He's a sloth. He's not in a hurry. You don't have to be either.
